Proverbial and Joyful Heart Stampers put on an event for our downline—STAMPoRAMA at the Mansion. If you are a demonstrator in our group, please access the form here. Registration is limited so please hurry!

If you are not yet a demonstrator but would like to be, email me! One day left of the $85 special mini demonstrator kit.

Also, today is the last day to register for my

Joyful Heart Demonstrator Breakfast on September 5th 8:45 AM

Cost is $10 for buffet breakfast.

This is one of the cards I designed for our make and takes!

If you are a long distance demonstrator—please know that you’ll receive all the make and takes when you participate in the swap (25 card fronts to me before the meeting—with SASE). Joyful Heart Stampers Only.

I know as the kids are heading back to school, many of you are thinking about starting to plan for the holidays. I thought I’d share some cute card ideas that I found at convention. The following samples are made using the Tree Trimming set in the large catalog—pg. 28

A] Dip the tip of a blender pen on to the corner of a Stampin' Pastel, then apply to the stamped image.

OR B] Brush the tip of a blender pen, or Aqua Painter directly on the tip of a Watercolor Wonder crayon, then apply color to the stamped image. OR C] Outline a section of the stamped image with a Watercolor Wonder Crayon or Watercolor Pencil, then use a blender pen, Aqua Painter, or wet watercolor brush to pull color where desired. OR D] Press the closed lid of a Classic Stampin' Pad down against the ink pad, creating a small pool of color in the lid; then open the lid. Use a blender pen, or an Aqua Painter to lift the ink from the lid and apply to the stamped image. QUICK TIP For more saturated colors as in the above sample: watercolor with Classic ink refills (Drop 1 or 2 drops onto a plastic lid, then dip aqua painter directly in. Before going to your project, brush several times on plastic lid to work the color into the brush, then color on project).

Quick Tip: Use Watercolor Paper and stamp image with Staz-On ink so it doesn’t run (as in above sample)
